Het zit erop!! Terwijl we ons voorbereiden op onze reis terug naar Nederland, schrijven we nog 1x onze avonturen voor jullie op. Hieronder een verslag over de laatste weken...maar ook laatste maanden:) Je kent het wel... discovery channel waar al die mooie beesten loslopen, leeuwen, buffels maar ook al die wildebeasten die zo'n rivier oversteken...

Wednesday, Emma & I got to visit the War Tribunal for the Rwandan Genocide. It was great...we got to see a trial of 4 men who were government officials at the time of the genocide. They were accused of/charged with conspiracy to commit genocide, allowing genocide, and a bunch of other stuff. The witness, who was also accused of the same crim...

Hey Everyone So here is post #2. I just got back from an amazing four day safari. Myself and eighteen volunteers went in four jeeps through the Manyara national park, Serengetti plain and Ngorongoro crater. The Serengetti plain is the second largest wildlife park in the world, and the Ngorongoro crater is a specatacle in itself even without the ...

**number 6 is new** I've been meaning to post a small collection of the funny things my host father, Sam, says. See if you can figure out what they mean...we'll start with the easiest and go to the weirdest/funniest: 1. Have a touch on your bag. 2. Be jealous of your bag. 3. We are summarizing. 4. Let's throw our legs very fast! 5. Show some str...

Here i am my last day in Tanzania, in Africa for that matter. I am back in Arusha after my 5 day safari which was just glorious! After my first class bus ride everything seemed to fall into place almost too easily. At the bus station a man from a hotel that was mentioned in my travel guide grabbbed me (as they do, it's quite common), offered me ...

The last two days I've taken field trips to the central market to get a feel for it and to pick up some things for the house. The first day, I went with Alice, one of my Canadian roommates. She's been here for 9 months and has awesome Kiswahili skills so she was a good guide for my first trip. The market is about a mile from my office complex. I...

Last day of safari! It was anticlimatic yet breathtaking....all day! It is really hard to describe the amount of game. Suffice to say if you only had one day to safari this would be the place to come! I won't give the life list....no point! We are in the crater floor of a volcano that imploded....the animals are captive and protected...and plent...

We arrived in Arusha and were met by James from the New Life Band (a Tanzanian band with a Christian ministry to youth and students). We have met the members of the band a few times before when they had visited Kings Church in the UK. They are a great bunch of people and it was fantastic to be able to meet them all in their hometown of Arusha. W...

Good evening friends, Many moons have passed since you last heard from Ang and I. We did write two previous entries that were cut off due to power outages and just plain old bad technology. We apologize. Let me quickly fill you in on our whereabouts and recent activities. We last left you as we were to embark on the overnight ferry from Mwanza t...

With 2 french people and 2 germans I set off on another safari, thanking my lucky stars that there were no americans. This was not before some panic visits to banks as HSBC had decided to stop me getting cash even though I had told them it was me using the card. Idiots. Anyway, you need to read this in a David Attenborough style............ Here...
